Someone called me from the 615-465-3998. They didn't leave a message. so I called back to see if it was important. Some lady answered and she asked me for my birthday. I had asked her who this was and what the call was regarding? She wouldn't answer my questions, so I didn't answer her birthday question. She must have gotten irritated with me because her tone of voice sounded angry after I wouldn't give any information. I don't know who it is. they don't deserve any of my info if the don't let me know who they are and why they are calling me. It seems like a phone scam to me. but who knows. It's not worth the risk.

I am guessing a debt collector, since I have a new phone number that must have belonged to someone still on the run. Anyway, when they call, I just say, 'Thanks for calling ABC Agency, how can I help you?' There is a pause and they hang up and I usually don't hear from them again. They seem to realize that they are not going to get anywhere with me ;-).

I reply as if there were no caller ID info from them & respond as if I was an auto attendant, "Your caller ID has been received as UNAVAILABLE, therefore the party in which you are trying to reach is UNAVAILABLE. Thank you for calling" then I hang up. Works good!

Called and was trying to collect medical debt. I asked who they were. Their response "Professional Account Services". Gave me an 800 number to call back. When I asked for the ladies name I spoke to they said she was busy. The debt does not show on the Hospitals online pay and bank has cleared the payment. She claimed she would check with hospital and call back. I gave birthday to verify, I hope I am not screwed...

they called me said that it is for medical records I was busy and called back told them that instead of using an excuse to get me on the phone just say who they are and what they want the women replied they dont have to make excuses, but in this case whom ever called did then I gave her my name and she couldnt locate me. so I just hung up.
